And Dropbox for 8 years of its life was basically this:

aws s3 sync source destination

Sounds like you never used Dropbox. DB lets you share files or folders with anyone, with read-only or write access, without wasting any time whatsoever with AWS config; With Dropdox you just need a right click.

If you need backup, then use rsync, but Dropbox isn't just backup.

Wasting time on AWS configuration? As easy as:

aws s3 presign s3://<bucketname>/<object>

The original rsync comment, here in this community, does not get the respect that it deserves. If you are a user, maybe you should read this:

How do I run that on my phone?

Seriously?

[belter]

Yes. Seriously.

"...Half-a-billion people stored files on Dropbox. Well, sort of. Really, the files were in Amazon’s cloud..."
